A/N.

Yes Jack, Torchwood team, readers; we have a big problem. Okay *looks guilty* we have one or two more than one… Mainly: THIS STORY IS REFUSING TO BE WRITTEN! And, basically, it's frustrating the hell outta me. Not because I have no plot. No- in fact I've known how this was gonna end before I posted the very first chapter those many moons ago and I even have the plan for the next chapter & the one after that (which might spill into two...) up to the end. I have the words *Wrap up* prominently written on the screen in front of me. But… there are issues.

It's like… When you're reading a piece of fan fiction, and it's a scene between two characters; Jack & Ianto for example, and you read something that a character says, and you know It's Jack- because it's a response to what Ianto says or something, but this is put to the test when you read the next line Ianto said. Because suddenly your views are challenged. And you go, hang on- but it can't be… Ianto asked… So- you read it again. You go back and you re-read the paragraph, and suddenly it all makes sense and you know what's happened- it wasn't your understanding that was flawed, it's just a typo- easy enough to make when it's just two people in a room. The writer simply put the wrong name there.

Now you can safely read it as Jack said and it makes sense! (Bare with me, the point is coming..)

Well, that's what I've done. Except it was with quite important characters. Hucking Harkness, the horse, and Prima Ballerina. And suddenly because I have no beta those fateful words issued by Jack are all wrong. That chapter was posted and I can't write the next bit like "that", because it won't make sense! You, as the reader will get confused… And I can't just change the names, because there's a whole time frame & story arc that revolves around significant events involving one or both of these two. My story is/ will be damaged.

*sigh*

So! Few options:

Can you finish this for me? No- I don't mean write it, I can still do that bit, but you readers have been here a while now, and you might not have a *how* but you've got a pretty good Idea of the ending. I mean, come on- Torchwood, alien threat…

And maybe you even have an idea how you expect me to get there. So! PM me, throw ideas at me- because obviously you've all read this with the flaw (my apologies). I've read it without the flaw- because OMG: I missed it. Plank. (me that is, not you...)

So: can you see an end in sight? PM me about it! Perhaps it won't be the disaster it looks like to me. It's almost depressing to be honest.

Or

A Beta! I'm calling… I have said plan. I have what has been posted. I have 'The Finish'. HELP!!! Lol If you have the time, please contact me via email or PM and help me get this written? Put 'BETA' in the subject heading. I do want to finish it for my readers…

So! Sorry, no next chapter. Yet. But it will be here. Soon. I pwomise! Pwease forgive me? Ta folks *grins happily*

I will also be bugging other people to help me in order to get this written. he he Creative Writers beware ;p

TTFN Folks!
